Hey.
So, need a laptop that can play games like Skyrim on mid settings at a decent framerate (so about 30 on average would be good).
Plus things like the sims 3 for the girlfriend, and mmo's like Aion or WoW etc.
Fairly happy with most of the spec, the graphics card seems decent enough, so just a decision on the cpu I need advice on really, as it makes a difference of £100.

How much of a difference is that dual core i3 gonna make? For example, if I went for the i7 Quad core (2.4GHz), it puts the price up by £100, but is it gonna make much of a difference both in general and gaming?
(Perhaps in mmo's, as these can be more cpu intensive?)
Finally, how is the overall spec.
Thanks for any help
